Solzy at the Movies
Some of it is shoddy and gross and cruel; the rest is funny in an entirely unexpected way.

Rating: 5/5 --
Each time I've watched it - and I've watched it many times - Mel Brooks' The Producers has felt horribly pertinent to the present moment.

Guardian
The Producers is a rip-roaring comedy which takes no prisoners and doesn't distinguish reich from wrong.

Brooks in his feature debut already knows that vulgarity is both meticulous art and timeless industry

...The film itself shines in a gorgeous new print...
Entertainment Weekly
Brooks' first feature, an absolutely hilarious and tasteless New York Jewish comedy about Broadway.

Product Description:
What do a down-and-out Broadway producer, his anxiety-attack-prone accountant, a go-go dancing Swedish secretary, and a Nazi playwright have in common' They're all part of Mel Brooks's wild and wacky first film, THE PRODUCERS. In this hysterical farce, rapacious but lovable producer Max Bialystock (Zero Mostel) hasn't had a hit in years and resorts to fulfilling sexually crazed little old ladies' fantasies for extra cash. But when he meets his new meek, neurotic accountant, Leo Bloom (Gene Wilder), the two accidentally come up with a plot to oversell shares in a surefire flop musical and make off with the profits. The plan sends the new partners-in-crime on a search for the worst play ever: SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER, written by an ex-Nazi (Kenneth Mars) whose only friends are the filthy city pigeons he keeps on his roof.
Inspired, manic performances by all involved, along with Brooks's lively direction--which affectionately alludes to such MGM Golden Age musicals as SINGIN' IN THE RAIN--make THE PRODUCERS both referential and highly original as it moves along swiftly to the ultimate musical climax.
